Any flight can be a potential op-up situation if the stars align. However, you must consider that there are probably still elites waiting for the SWUs to clear... which will eat up J seats and release Y. Once that is done, if they still need Y seats, they'll upgrade any CK, EXP, and PP and their companions before they upgrade you Plat (as per your profile)

I wouldn't count on it, but i wouldn't say it's impossible. Let us know what happens
